Thank you Maxime!!! Cheers!

[@TheWhiskyHunter]

Guys, guys, guys! I am so envious. I've had a lot of HPs but not the 40 as of yet. Thanks for sharing cracking the bottle with us. Love, love love it!

[@maltreviews]

Hey bud, great to see you stop in and drop a line. Hope all is well!!! Thank you!!!

[@keithpetersen560]

Epic. You said its a 2014 bottling, so it was distilled in 1974. That's incredible and an excellent price considering what Macallan & Balvenie 40 goes for. I agree with you, its only going to double in price. Great review.

[@maltreviews]

Ya if you factor in what the price for this will be soon then its a good deal, lol. Or else its of course very expensive. Amazing whisky for sure!!

[@cato451]

Nice entry guys. HP is a top five distillery for me -especially those older bottlings. Beautiful dram.

[@maltreviews]

Thanks buddy! I know you love these older HP's as much as we do

[@brechtvandersteene9268]

always nice to see you guys open a very expensive collectors bottle most people would flip something like this , i have a lot of respect for you guys keep up the great videos fellow malt lovers

[@maltreviews]

Thank you!! Slainte!!!

[@GregsWhiskyGuide]

I always wanted to try this one, so lucky you, guys ! Slainte !

[@maltreviews]

Slainte Greg!!!

[@topshelfdustin3060]

After that macallan 12 double oaked, I was worried we'd see dewars White label before another epic dram! Kidding but glad to see you guys back in your element though it's nice to see you guys do some more approachable bottles now and then too! My 40th isn't too far away...I'm going to start thinking about what to get for that. This is up there on the list! But it seems I'll need to act sooner than later with whisky becoming an investment class product.

[@maltreviews]

Haha we almost did review a Dewars but it was the 32 year old. Ya, I think its important to keep some perspective though its obviously way more fun reviewing the higher end stuff. Time to get a new credit card for that bday bottle lol.

[@stevedonithan9752]

@@maltreviews ha i actually saw the 32 year on your shelf during Mikes 40th bday video and was wondering if you guys would review it. I picked up a couple of them after reading good reviews on whisky base. Great nose on it, palate lacking any power and a little thin but a good buy at $150 one of the best blends ive had

[@foxtenz6346]

OOooh Yes guys, you insane XD. Thanks for bringing this puppy out!

[@maltreviews]

Thanks for watching bud!!! Cheers!

[@WhiskyInThe6]

Nice one boys

[@maltreviews]

Thanks Brother!!

[@maltmoment]

Damn, there's a proper start to the week! Great unboxing/uncorking, love the intense honey/beeswax/floral-sweet-nectar notes in this one! It's a shame that Edrington is doing to Highland Park what has been done to Macallan. But like you said, it's happening everywhere. Quality down, price up. The 2008 release of the HP40 was ~1000 GBP...

[@maltreviews]

Thanks buddy! For sure, I always remember the 48.1% at 750 pounds but that was over 10 years ago as well.

[@xhopesfall88]

Love this unboxing! I’ve noticed the same on pricing lately as well. Saw a 48.1% 30 yr HP for 1800 and hesitated, but unfortunately todays market is insane

[@maltreviews]

Thank you! Yah, we will prob see a lot Hp's double in price in the coming months to a year. Scary!!!!!!

[@Houman7]

Epic guys, these older releases of Highland Park are just amazing and what I’m missing. I honestly don’t like direction HP is going recently. My local shop has the same bottle at 48.3% for 4800$ which is a lot compare to what you paid.

[@maltreviews]

Thank you! Ya, $4800 is too much but thats the price of the bottle now, if not higher soon.

[@lorionalbenhaupt7045]

I found the nose of this HP 40 great as well, but on the palate I was quite disappointed. It felt a bit thin compared to the palate. The HP 30yo (with 48.1 abv) made the race this evening...

[@maltreviews]

The nose was winner for us too!! Cheers!

[@DonnerPassWhisky]

Love thinking about were I was and what was happening when old spirit was put in the cask. Had a Cambus 30 that was distilled the month I met my wife, Glen Keith 28 distilled the month we moved into our house. Time Machines in a bottle. Had a 2oz sample of a 2013 release HP 25 and it was glorious so I'm sure this is going to be fantastic. Cheers guy's

[@maltreviews]

Whisky is crazy like that and we def need to spend some time time thinking about how special what we are drinking really is. Just like you said!! Cheers bud!

[@thescotchhunter8770]

You guys always get me excited…trigger pulled!! You got it from Whisky Kingdom??

[@maltreviews]

Very nice!!! No but I am familiar with that site

[@calaphis3468]

I LOVE these reviews/first looks. Whisky porn for real, and your takes are awesome. Aspirations for me!

[@maltreviews]

Cheers!

[@mitar512]

25 is farthest I went. And this video is the closest I will ever get to the HP 40yo.

[@maltreviews]

25 still very good

[@drink_with_the_dead]

Great video. I felt like I was there. I love the excitement you guys exude..so authentic. Cheers! Scott

[@maltreviews]

Thank you Scott!!! Cheers buddy!!
